Do some people not feel this way at all times? Personally i always feel like my body isn't "me", it's just the functional shell that I'm living in. Like when i get in a car and go driving i don't feel like the car is me, it's just the functional shell I'm inside of. "Me" is my subjective sense of consciousness.

When i look in the mirror i mostly see it in the 3rd person. I see my face and i think "hey look at that guy", and "that face could use a shave", etc.

Yeah kind of. When I look at myself on the mirror there always the feeling of "oh yeah that's what I look like", because that's not how I perceived myself. My "me" isn't a body.
